Real Life

with a new baby. . .
just kidding - Reagan is a really happy girly and only looks like this when hungry.

Here are a few random thoughts and things:

1. This is what happens when you have children who are obsessed with drawing and drawing and drawing on computer paper and mom is out of commission for a few weeks. Dads don't notice or care about things like this "hidden" in the computer room. But I do. And I was shocked when I finally saw it about two weeks ago.
2. The girls had a hard time the first few days Reagan was home. I received numerous pictures of crying stick people. Apparently it's Savannah and London crying because everyone just loves Reagan and not them.
After being involved holding and taking care of Reagan, they totally love her now, but every once in a while they realize that life has altered with a baby and that's when they use the ultimate big sister threat . . . the goblin king.
The other day, London just said,
"Fine, then I will wish Reagan to the Goblin King."
(have you ever seen Labyrinth?)Savy looking like she's ready to wish Reagan away. . .

4. And finally, we went to the park last week and met Amy and the boys. The cousins were more than thrilled to be reunited. For the first ten minutes, London and D just chilled on the bench, catching up I suppose. They were very cute together.

So funny. I want to wish Caleb to the Goblin King today, and the first picture of Reagan reminds me of my sweet little boy. Yes, it's been a BAD day.

Oh Labyrinth, that movie was crazy but I totally watched it and remember the crazy baby snatcher. I would have flipped about the office too, wait a minute, my office strangely resembles yours and I don't have two lonely children drawing away their sorrows. Mine are just a bit more organized (at least I think so).

Ah, real life. It can definitely be too much. I loved my Reagan time today. I haven't held her so much ever & she is just darling. I'm excited to have the little girlies tomorrow.

D & London were so funny that day at the park. They wanted nothing to do with anything but just sitting close. They crack me up.

Love those kids on the bench...I love the very real, interior lives of children.

this was hilarious to read. The crying stick people totally cracked me up!

I have the same baby bouncing seat! You have such cute girls--love the realness of them all. (I have to monitor the paper use here--they'd go through a ream a week if I'd let them!)
